"Physical edge defender with the potential to create havoc on all three downs with his burst, power and effort," 247Sports wrote of Green. "Turned heads at Under Armour’s Future 50 event summer after sophomore year and followed it up with a monster junior campaign: 40 TFL, 18 sacks. Looks almost like an action figure with his muscle and should only continue to add good mass in the coming years. Quick out of his stance and frequently the one to initiate contact.

"Fluid enough to cross obstacles or dart around them if he’s not trying to play through them. Tends to hound the play by changing directions and will make his fair share of stops in pursuit.

"Has attacked from a variety of different alignments over the years and likely to offer that same inside-outside versatility on Saturdays. Projects at this stage as a potential impact rusher for a College Football Playoff contender."
